In this episode, Jamie sits down with Teresa for an honest and hope-filled Q&A all about hysterectomy—what it is, why it’s often recommended, and the whole-body impact women deserve to understand before ever stepping into the operating room. Together, they walk through the most common questions women ask: what a hysterectomy actually involves, how removing the uterus alone differs from removing both the uterus and ovaries, and how a woman can discern whether surgery is truly necessary or if root-cause, restorative options might be explored first. Jamie also opens up about her own recent experience with extremely heavy bleeding and iron deficiency, reflecting on what she learned, how it clarified the importance of proper evaluation, and why women should never ignore symptoms that disrupt daily life or drain their energy. Her story becomes a powerful example of how understanding your cycle can guide clearer decisions and more restorative care. -- The Fiat Institute is now enrolling for the next Hormone Coach Certification Cohort—a powerful program training women to understand the menstrual cycle, support hormone health naturally, and serve their communities as certified hormone coaches.
